1042 Perplexed and Smitten 102 (1/2)
\”No, I'm just trying to nourish my body.\”
Qiao Yina instantly understood what she meant. \”Can I ask you a question?\”
\”What is it?\”
\”Do you still resent Xiaotian?\”
\”Not anymore. Resenting him will only remind me of him frequently. I no longer want to be reminded of him from now on. Hence, I won't waste any more time and energy on him,\” Mo Li said composedly. Qiao Yina felt that she had meant every word she said.
On the way home from Mo Li's place, Qiao Yina thought to herself, Women who have given up on a man completely will probably behave like Mo Li.
She could talk about someone who used to be her closest kin with a straight face.
She returned to the Ye family mansion and only went to bed in the wee hours of the night. Ye Xiaotian woke up and asked, \”Where did you go?\”
\”To deliver something.\”
\”To whom?\”
\”Your ex-wife.\”
Ye Xiaotian sobered up and asked, \”What did you deliver to her?\”
\”The things she had left behind.\”
\”Who told you to do that?\”
Staring at him, Qiao Yina said, \”I wanted to do it. I had a chat with her when I was there, and she told me that she is about to get married soon. She has also begun taking some traditional chinese medicine to nourish her body. It seems she's planning to conceive in the near future.\”
Ye Xiaotian had dreaded hearing those news.
Ye Xiaotian knew that it was near impossible for her to get pregnant.
Qiao Yina did not say anything else after seeing that he was refusing to speak.
Ever since they got married, she had also gotten used to him being nonchalant and slipshod with his answers.
\”I'm going to the hospital to visit Mother. Would you like to come along?\” she asked.
\”I'll go in the evening instead.\”
\”Alright.\”
At this point, Mrs. Ye had turned pale and ghastly because of the tough battle she's been having with her illness.
She looked like she had aged ten years with her angsty temper.
Qiao Yina brought her some porridge, yet she was not grateful for it at all. \”It's the same old porridge every single day. I'm getting so sick of it.\”
Qiao Yina detested her mother-in-law as well.
\”It's better for you to consume more whole grains now. They're good for your health,\” Qiao Yina said while removing the lid of the lunchbox and placing a spoon inside.
She allowed the piping-hot porridge to cool on the table before feeding it to Mrs. Ye.
After some consideration, she said, \”Mother, I met Ms. Mo today.\”
\”Which Ms. Mo?\”
\”Mo Li.\”
\”Oh? Where did you meet her?\” Mrs. Ye asked indifferently.
\”Her home.\”
\”What were you doing at her home?\”
\”There were still some of her belongings at home so I decided to bring them to her. She's about to get married soon and she's nursing her health in preparation for a baby.\”
Mrs. Ye humphed and remarked, \”Can she even still conceive?\”
\”She probably still can.\”
\”She even showed up at Xiaotian's and your wedding together with her boyfriend. I could tell with one look that her boyfriend is younger than her. Ever since she married Xiaotian, she had been idling around at home every day. Xiaotian has never once let her go out to work. She couldn't even conceive a son. At last, she finally managed to get pregnant again but she stabbed the baby boy she was expecting. If she can conceive again, pigs are going to fly.\”
Qiao Yina did not say anything further after hearing her remark.

\”Sis, where are you living now?\” Yu Caiwei asked her sister while sucking on her straw.
\”Wei Ni Estate.\”
\”Hey… doesn't that estate belong to Jin Qingyan?\”
